- These are the Radar Renegade RT+.
They've been growing in popularity
here on the Custom Offsets charts.
We figured we'd slap a set on Nick's Ford F150
and put them to the test, and by the end of this video,
we'll be able to answer the age-old question,
"Are they worth it?"
(intense music)
So now, I know you guys gave us a ton of (bleep)
in the last video for not doing a burnie,
but in true Custom Offsets fashion,
let's light them up and see what they can do.
(tires squealing)
(tires hissing)
So the Radar Renegade RT+ is a hybrid tire.
And with the hybrid tire, you guys are gonna see benefits
from both the all-terrain and the mud-terrain tire features
that Radar offers.
So now one positive to these tires
is it does have the dual sidewall,
so it's got a super aggressive sidewall,
giving you the skulls and pistons on the outer tread,
which is super aggressive.
I think it looks super cool, and it's really unique.
And then in the inside, you have the dagger lugs as well.
So this really gives you the option for customizability.
And you've heard us talk about this
in a couple of other tiring offers,
where it is a little aggressive on one side
and a lot more aggressive on the other.
And with that is a lot...
Allowed of consumers to really customize the look.
You know, you customize your wheels,
you customize all this other stuff.
So bringing the feature to be able
to customize the way your tires look,
it's changing the game.
So now, as far as the outer tread blocks go,
it's got a lateral dagger with angled siping.
Now what that's gonna do, it's gonna provide
a lot of great on-road handling and traction.
So now when talking about the center tread pattern
and the blocks on the center tread,
it's got a very wide tire and blocks,
which is gonna allow your tires to really wear down evenly
unless you drive like me.
(engine roaring)
So now like most tire manufacturers in the game right now,
Radar offers 16 to 24 inch applications,
and odds are, we probably have what you need,
and you can see all that at customoffsets.com.
Now, like I said in the beginning,
Radar is a manufacturer we have been seeing
steadily increase in popularity
in the Custom Offsets community.
They're a Singapore-based company,
and they've been making tires for all applications,
from cars to classics to even freaking trailers, man.
I'm pretty sure they know what they're doing.
Now, they currently offer two all-terrain tire models,
two mud-terrain tire models,
and they also offer two rugged-terrain models,
including this Renegade RT+ hybrid
that we are testing out here today.
Now, besides the tire specifics,
we've really grown to enjoy Radar as a company because,
just like Custom Offsets with our efforts
to give back through our giveaways,
Radar does a lot of the same,
and they also love to really give back to their community
and are really appreciative of how far
they have come as a company, just like us.
Now, a couple of quick points to make
about Radar as a company,
they're the only tire manufacturer that is
an official Breast Cancer Research Foundation
supported company,
pledging more than $1.3 million to the foundation,
and I think that's pretty awesome.
Now, Radar also use carbon-neutral manufacturing
for a lot of their products,
so you know that they're doing their part
to really save and protect our planet.
Now, this tire, the Radar Renegade RT+,
has a lot of miles and will offer you
a ton of mileage on your tires
as long as you guys are taking care of your tires.
Now, I know we say this all the time,
"Rotate your tires, get alignments,"
and all that sort of stuff,
but it is common practice that you should be practicing
if you wanna get the most out of your tires.
So if you wanna get the most out of these
Radar Renegade RT+,
make sure you guys are taking your trucks
over to the alignment shop, getting, you know,
alignments every now and then,
and making sure that you are swapping your tires over,
so that way you guys do get the correct wear and tear.
And also don't drive like me.
All right, guys, so next up is going to be
our sound road noise test.
So first off, once again, just to recap,
if you guys are new to these tire reviews,
what we like to do is get a standing still idle shot
or a sound test of, you know,
just the overall road noise and elements,
and then we're gonna get one at 40 miles an hour,
and then we're gonna get one at 70 miles an hour.
So if I shut up right now,
we're gonna get our sound road noise test
and see what it's at at just a straight up idle.
So it's sitting at right about 44 to 45 decimals.
It peaks a little bit when a lot of vehicles drive by,
and sometimes you guys will get that on some of these tests.
There are a bunch of elements and factors,
but once all the traffic calmed down,
we're standing, or sitting, here in the truck,
still, it is idling at about 44 to 45 decimals.
Now, we will hop into the 40 mile an hour
and see what that looks like.
All right, so now, as we accelerate up to 40 miles an hour,
we're gonna get an accurate reading
of what that road noise looks like.
And we're sitting at about 59 to 60 decibels
at 40 miles an hour, which is honestly pretty impressive,
especially for these things being big 37-inch tires
and quite a new company, you know,
not your main tire manufacturers that everyone's so used to,
so to see their big sizes be so quiet,
especially at the average, like, cruise around town speed,
pretty impressive.
All right, so as we approach 70 miles an hour,
we're gonna an active sound test road noise reading.
We've done the idle; we've done the 40.
Now, it's time to see what those highway sounds look like.
And we're sitting at about 71 to 72 decibels,
so about 10 more decibels once you reach the highway.
Once again, still pretty reasonable,
especially for 37-inch tires.
You know, you're gonna see a little bit higher decibel
into your mud-terrain tires and stuff like that,
so I think, especially being throughout
the whole design of Radar,
especially in this Renegade RT+,
and with it being a RT, you know,
you are seeing it dip at like the 71...
Or peak at the 71 to 72 range.
So once again, very, very impressive.
All right, you guys, so that's what we got for you guys
on today's tire review of the Radar Renegade RT+.
We really hope you guys enjoyed this video.
I know Radar is a company that you guys
probably aren't familiar with.
You're so used to the Nitto, the Toyota, the Fury,
the everything else,
but it spent a lot of fun bringing
some of these newer companies, some of these newer tires,
to give you guys even more options,
especially when it comes to modifying
the look of your truck.
If you guys are interested in Radar tires,
you can check those out at customoffsets.com.
We'll see you guys in the next one.
